82%Honor Play – ReviewSource: Cool SmartphoneEN→zh-CNI have been very pleased with the Honor Play it is a great value device and will punch well above its weight particularly when gaming is the task at hand. My only real major complaint was that the screen is not good in direct sunlight and is un-usable when wearing glass with polarisation. This is not really a massive problem and is the case for most phones at this and in some case much higher price points.

Huawei Honor Play Review: Premium-looking mid-range for all-day gamingSource: Androidcommunity.comEN→zh-CNThe Honor Play appears well-designed.

The display is no match for the likes of the Razer Phone or Asus ROG, but the Play offers top notch performance at a far lower price than either of those, which might make it the ideal phone for gamers on a budget.

Honor Play Review: A Quality Gaming PHP 15k+ PhoneSource: Manila ShakerEN→zh-CNIn conclusion, the smartphone was able to prove that it has other good features other than gaming. Moreover, the fact that it sports the Kirin 970 chipset yet costs PHP 15,990, makes the smartphone a great choice for mobile gamers. The Honor Play is truly a quality gaming phone at a very affordable price. Single Review, online available, Very Long, Date: 08/30/2018

80%Honor Play review: Premium smartphone, midrange priceSource: The Indian ExpressEN→zh-CNHonor Play is an excellent smartphone that comes very close to matching a premium, flagship smartphone.

Honor Play review: The affordable gaming smartphone for everyoneSource: Talk AndroidEN→zh-CNThe Honor Play is a gaming handset with an understated design that the average user will appreciate for its performance, battery life, and a quality display. And gamers? Well, its target audience will enjoy the battery life, the display’s vibrancy, and the gimmicky 4D Smart Shock, and 3D Surround Sound features will certainly add something to the gameplaying experience. If Huawei can get more game developers on board with its GPU Turbo technology, phones such as the Honor Play can only benefit. Single Review, online available, Long, Date: 08/26/2018

Honor Play review: Flagship specs on a budget (video added!)Source: Android AuthorityEN→zh-CNOf course, there’s more to a smartphone than just its spec sheet.

60%Honor Play ReviewSource: Phone ArenaEN→zh-CNSumming it all up, the Honor Play is a controversial device: on the surface and on paper, it’s a beast with the company’s fastest chip and a killer price, but in reality things like the disappointing screen quality, the outdated interface looks, as well as the quiet loudspeaker and the bad video recording quality really ruin what could have been a great device.

Honor Play Review: Flagship Power for a Steal?Source: UnboxEN→zh-CNHonestly, we’d rather change that phrase to “why should you not buy it?” and we can’t think of a solid reason. While some would nitpick by saying that it has ordinary cameras and a rather boring aluminum unibody, Honor is aware that the main market of the Honor Play is those that are looking for pure performance without spending a fortune.

Honor Play ReviewSource: YugatechEN→zh-CNThe Honor Play is that kind of smartphone that punches like a heavyweight but fights in the middleweight class. It’s got a nice display, flagship-grade Kirin 970 with GPU Turbo, large RAM and storage, decent cameras, and above average battery capacity. There are some issues like its thermals but we believe it’s something that can be fixed with a software update. Single Review, online available, Very Long, Date: 08/21/2018

Honor Play Review: Will it impress the gamers?Source: The Mobile IndianEN→zh-CNHonor Play does come loaded with a robust design and display looks impressive as well. The performance and AI in the camera have shown improvement though it sometimes oversaturates some pictures.
